How to apply?

Interested and qualified students may choose one of the following questions to answer(essays must be a minimum of 500 words in length with a maximum of 1000 words and must include a title):

Have you ever cared for someone with Alzheimer’s or Dementia? If so, write about how that experience impacted your life.

Based on the Alzheimer’s and Dementia prevention information today, if you had a history of memory loss in your family, what steps would you take to help reduce your chance of having Alzheimer’s or Dementia.

Winning selection process:

We are going to post participants’ essays on our website, Facebook, Google+ and Twitter pages. Two essays that receive the most Facebook likes, Google+ +1’s and Twitter re-tweets will each receive $1000 towards their college education.
